When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix

the child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen-

gers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

●

When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-

tioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away

from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder. Failure to

do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

●

Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.

CAUTION

●

If the driver’s seat interferes with the child

restraint system and prevents it from being

attached correctly, attach the child restraint

system to the right-hand rear seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat or rear

seats so that it does not interfere with the

child restraint system.

●

Only put a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front seat when unavoidable.

When installing a forward-facing child

restraint on the front passenger seat, move

the seat as far back as possible even if the

“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-

nated. Failure to do so may result in death

or serious injury if the airbags deploy

(inflate).
